5 POWERPOD K16
PLUS
BASIC SETUP
Getting Started
1. Ensure all power is turned off on the Power-
pod K-16 Plus. To totally ensure this, the AC
cable should not be connected to the unit.
2. All faders and level controls should be set at
the lowest level and all channels switched
off to ensure no sound is inadvertently
sent through the outputs when the device
is switched on. All levels should be altered
to acceptable degrees after the device is
turned on.
3. Ensure that the rear of the mixer is not less
than 30 centimeters from the wall, as being
closer than that may obstruct the cooling
fans and cause overheating.
4. Plug all necessary instruments and equip-
ment into the device’s various inputs as re-
quired. This may include line signal devices,
as well as microphones and/or guitars, key-
boards, etc.
5. Plug any necessary equipment into the de-
vice’s various outputs. This could include
speakers, monitors, signal processors, and/
or recording devices. No devices other than
speakers should be connected to the power
amp outputs. Plugging inappropriate devic-
es into the mixer will likely cause damage to
the device. Also, guitar cables should not be
used to connect amplifiers to speakers.
6.
Plug the supplied AC cable into the AC inlet
on the back of the device.
7. Plug the supplied AC cable into a power out-
let of a suitable voltage.
8. Turn the power switch on.
Channel Setup
1. To ensure the correct audio levels of each
input channel is selected, every channel
should first be switched off and all faders set
to 0.
2. Choose the channel that you wish to set the
level of, and ensure that channel has a sig-
nal sent to it similar to the signal that will be
sent when in common use. For example, if
the channel is using a microphone, then you
should speak or sing at the same level the
performer normally would during a perfor-
mance. If a guitar is plugged into that chan-
nel, then the guitar should also be used as it
normally would be.
3. Press the PFL button of the channel, allow-
ing you to see the audio level in the master
level meter.
4. Set the gain so the level meter indicates the
audio level is around 0 dB.
5. This channel is now ready to be used; you
can stop making the audio signal.
6. To activate the channel, release the PFL but-
ton and engage the channel’s on button.
7. You should now select the next channel to
set and go back to follow steps 1 through 6.
